Toyota Corolla

After replacing my VW Polo and getting into this car how happy am I , have done about 76000 kms and has not lei me down , travel to Brisbane every day from the Gold Coast,car is serviced by Toyota when due at a fixed price ,great service

I had one car and needed another one. The first car was Toyota Camry and bought a Toyota Corolla as my 2nd car. It’s been very economical to drive and maintain.

Bought a new 1996 Auto Corolla. One of the most reliable cars you can get. Ask yourself what is the most common older car you see still being used? It's a Corolla. Mine has no air bags and therefore wasn't part of the Takata air bag recalls.

Used for daily commute to work and long weekend drives Serviced regularly and had no problems to be fixed. Very thrifty on petrol and easy to drive. Great on long journeys. Huge Boot for car of this size great when going away

I bought this car looking for something smaller than my mitsubishi lancer. Bought it @ 16,000 kms for what was a good deal. I thought it would be on par in size in the back seat area with the Hyundai i30 that my son owns, but am sadly disappointed.
What makes me even more frustrated is that the computer screen cannot be seen on a sunny day even after adjusting screen brightness., and the computer is difficult to navigate. There are no computer shades available to buy, so will be getting rid of this car, as the computer screen is useless. Also the yard (South Melbourne Toyota) we bought it from told us we could get it serviced at a reciprocal dealership close to our home as we are out at Frankston, so we paid extra warranty etc only to be told they won't honour it as it is meant to be serviced by them. In fairness they have changed ownership so was told we could service it through the local Hyundai for fixed price service, but it wasn't written in the paperwork. I would never think to check that as I thought Toyota is everywhere and a big dealer, so no reason to doubt their word. Learnt a big lesson.

After owning several other used cars over the years and having nothing but headaches (Ford Territory, XR6 Falcon, Holden Astra, Mitsubishi Magna) I bought my Corolla needing an economical, comfortable, reliable used car.
It definitely ticks all boxes and more.
it had 165,000 ks on the clock and a partial service history, since owning it I have done 20'000 odd ks this is an excellent vehicle for round town and highway driving, the reliability is virtually bulletproof (being a Toyota) servicing is cheap if you source items yourself either online or from an auto parts retailer eg: Bursons, Auto Barn, Supercheap Auto (oil, oil filter, air filter, spark plugs, brake pads disc rotors, wiper refills, globes etc) if your a little car savvy either service it yourself as I do otherwise take the service items to an independent mechanic and pay for labor only, as these cars are no longer under a Toyota warranty you do not need to have servicing done at Toyota or any other big expensive franchise mechanical business.. Stay away from toyota dealerships big rip off!
There are also plenty of aftermarket spare parts readily available in the event anything ever needs replacing, in saying that nothing much ever goes wrong with these cars.
These cars will easily do 300'000 ks plus and drive like new still provided they are maintained, reasonable size inside so comfort-ability is fine and reasonable boot space as I have a sedan, for the body size the little economical 1.8lt Auto its surprisingly zippy.

Whilst mine has blue tooth it does not have parking sensors or reverse camera unlike the ones released a year or 2 after mine, however if you really need a reverse camera you can buy a decent one aftermarket as cheap as $100.

Really can't go wrong with a corolla.

I went to chatswood toyota, awesome service and lovely people who helped me purchase a me a new car. Happy with the purchase and the team at Toyota. I was able to get extras and 1% finance was also good too.
I am able to service it down the road from me at rockdale Toyota love that about Toyota.

Good spacious hatch with predictable handling and driver aids. 7 airbags and logbook services keep toyota running as it should. Aircon and other creature comforts makes driving a breeze. It could do with a reverse camera as all hatches and wagons should have as minimum equipment. 6 speed manual makes plenty of power through the gears for both city and highway traffic.
Purchased it 6 months ago and it already become the family’s favourite. Mostly use it for family goings and everyone in the family live it. No any issues find in the car so far and love it. I got serviced it for 2 times and got the insurance from Toyota too
I’m a photographer so I need a reliable car to drive around to photoshoots and weddings and my old car was constantly breaking down and causing a lot of stress. I upgraded to the Toyota Corolla as I have heard from everyone how reliable they are which is exactly what I needed! This car drives so smoothly and I feel so much safer on the road. I love having all of the newer features that my old car didn’t have such as the large touch screen and Bluetooth. There is so much storage in the car to put my things while I’m driving. The only feature missing is the build in gps - apparently you had to pay an extra few thousand to get that which I think is a bit rediculous. I think I would feel so much safer having the gps on the large screen than looking at my phone.

Was sceptical at first because I had my heart set on another car. After reading so many bad reviews I decided to look at Toyota instead. Dom from Toyota Melville helped me find a car that would suit me perfectly.

He found a car within my budget and let me test drive it. Unlike other car dealerships I didn’t feel pressured into buying it then and there. He offered me a great deal and great inclusions. I went home to think about it but by the time I got home my mind was made up.

Would never buy another brand car again and would highly recommend this car. It’s not a huge car but offers so much legroom and boot space like a bigger make car would. Reliable and capped price servicing.

Bought new toyota corolla hybrid zr and believe me its one of the best small car in market. Thanks toyota for your wonderful finish. Only thing missing is sunroof. Interior is too good. I really love my purchase as its hybrid millage is too good. Wireless charging. Leather seats what else can you expect..

Owned the car for a little over two months. I enjoyed my Civic but when Toyota released the all new Corolla, it was time to change. Why? 1. Japanese build quality (Civic built in UK). 2. Available with 6-speed manual (same as Civic).
3. Equipped with a full size alloy spare wheel! (Civic had space saver-could not carry full spare). 4. And it looks quite sharp. The spare wheel was the final thing that made my decision to change. The Corolla is very well built, beautiful to drive/ride in, and has enough power to cruise comfortably up and down hill etc. It is well equipped with safety features and has nice items such as electric folding external mirrors. Very comfortable seats, bit small in the rear, but this does not concern me. Small boot space though, but still usable. Does not have cargo hooks in the boot, no front fog lights, no leather wrapped steering wheel or gear knob, and a bit short on USB ports (one only). There is one power socket in the centre console too. Electric hand break and nice instrument cluster with a beautiful gear box (six speed of course). I will add more later as time goes by...

December 5. 2018. Want to add, I managed to buy the cargo hooks for the boot since the threaded holes are all there. All I needed to do was remove the blanking plug. So I now have very useful hooks in the boot. I did have one really annoying rattle from the start, but I quickly found where it was coming from (rear hatch trim) and carefully fitted some foam strips the stop it. One other fit issue (very, very minor) is one of the rubber strips against the inside of the rear right door isn't quite well moulded, but okay. Actually you would have to be fussy like me to spot it! Otherwise a great little car so far, with a little over 6000km on the odometer! Stay tuned for further updates!

January. 2019. Update, We’ll, I have done several long trips in the new Corolla, and fuel consumption is very, very good indeed. Remember, I have a manual model. I am getting, on average, between 6.0-6.2 liters per 100 km. On a long trip, say, Melbourne, I am getting as low as 5.2 liters per 100 km! Not bad. I have just over 8000km on the clock now, not much else to report. Stay tuned...

I have owned my 2007 corolla accent sports for just over 10 years, and have travelled over 190000kms in it. It has NEVER let me down, always starts easily and hasn't had any issues. All I have ever done is had it serviced every 8-10 months. It is a fantastic little car that is easy to drive and park. It is zippy and so reliable.
The only small issue is that the passenger window electric button decided to not work a couple of years ago. Also has been recalled to replace the passenger airbag.
Overall I have loved my corolla!! It is now owned by my step son who also loves it. I would highly recommend a corolla.

I traded in my old 2005 Corolla (which I had no issues with) for a newer model. I opted for the Hybrid, which was an excellent decision. We have definitely saved on fuel consumption which is a key factor these days. The car is reliable, problem free and has great build quality. The interior is comfortable, with a great user interface for sat nav, audio etc. Excellent car for daily commuting.

2016 Corrolla is a nice looking car on tje outside however its seats are very uncomfortable unless you are an adult that is not more than 70kgs with a smaller frame.

For the price that you pay it is lacking in technology which is very sad to see especially when the competitors are the likes of hyundai, mazda etc...

If the price was around 5k cheaper then the shortcuts and cheap plastic that toyota took would have been to tolerable but fir a 24k starting price with on road costs it isnt.

Hope the 2019 new generation will outdo this one

I bought my wife a Toyota corolla with about 50000 on the clock. 5 years later, it has 92000kms showing. It has been the most reliable car we've ever owned. It doesn't have all the yuppie extras (omg they would say over morning coffee) and there are absolutely no bragging rights so it is not for your average "we own this and that" yuppie but certainly great for the rest of us who aren't hung up on showing off and competing with others because our lives are so shallow. Pity they don't have a life or a Corolla.

I have been using this car from day 1 and so far it has not given me any trouble.
Other than the exterior body of the car which is not scratch free and need to built it more durable.
Battery life in the car is the best aspect I like and I will always be loyal to Toyota in my life.

Fuel consumption is good and interior is the best then other car.

Only recently I have to take two time my car one for faulty fuel gauge and secondly for airbags. I did not aspect this to be faulty TOYOTA. Buckle up and do not sign for faulty ones.

Brought a corolla to replace my Mazda 3 (as it has been written off during car accident).
After driving it for two years, I am now regret my decision. compares with the Mazda 3, it just feels cheaper in terms of the material used.
Mazda is just a little bit more powerful and it comes with better design and quality and as reliable as Toyota
the only advantage that I could think of is, it is cheaper to service with Toyota Dealer.
